Don’t let people whining about the English version turn you off from this game. It is fun and cute and totally possible to play without paying. The majority of the English community is sweet and inclusive and helpful, and there are lots more options here than there were in the English edition of the game. It might be a little hard to contact support because of time zones and language issues, but google translate clears up most anything you need for this game, and there are helpful minis who translate many of the announcements as well. The only real complaint I have is that they take away some features to try out new ones occasionally, and although I understand why, I like some of the old mini games better than the new ones.-veritia (minime/pokemini since 2013, pokecolo since 2014)

It's a cute fun game, but no where near as fun as it used to be. When I first started playing it, I had switched over from Pokemini, and had to learn my way around due to the language barrier of it being only in Japanese. Once I learned my way around, I enjoyed the trade and voting on fashion contest options, because they gave good rewards. Once they eliminated those options, especially trading items with other players, it became pretty uninteresting. You get very little reward for gameplay, probably to try to force players into buying with real money. A couple of Dona for a visit or tree watering? Seriously? Takes forever to save up anything to spend on the gacha. Lineplay at least gives better log in rewards, and gameplay rewards for certain actions. More generous to players, and I still occasionally want to spend real money on it for specific things. Pokecolo seems to greedy, imo. The trade option was the true fun for me, and they took it away. As a result, I spend less time on this game than I used to. Lineplay is the way to go for a cute avatar game, where you can actually get stuff for regular gameplay without having to spend too much.

Many years ago, I've played Pokemini and I was so heartbroken that it got unexpectedly deleted. The concept was amazing. Socializing and dressing up and the gacha system was such a amazing experience. It had a special place in my heart and mind. Now that I'm introduced to Japanese-Only language for this developer, it has become a challenge and I only wish there was a English option in settings. I must admit, I was so motivated to even learn the language just so I can play this game and get used to it. But...I sure am a little dissatisfied. I really hope one day there will be newer versions for languages. It would be really appreciated as so many people whom found nostalgia again will have quicker navigation through the game. Not just from the U.S but from alot of other countries whom plays this game most likely. I just had to write this review because I'm genuinely in love with this game. I only wish for the bestest as we definitely deserve it for dedicating for this app.

This app is among my favorites.Granted, I'm not over Pokemini just yet, but I do love Pokecolo.Firstly, since I know the English community still complains about the lack of translation, you should know that...• The app is mostly picture driven.• There are such things as translators. (Other than Google, never trust Google Translate, please. xD)• There are plenty of helpful players that will be glad to translate things for you.• If all else fails, you can be a well rounded person and learn a new language or two.With that said, here is a list of reasons you SHOULD download this game. (+ you should, just trust me.)• In my experience as an English speaker, the community is wonderful.• Pets. Just, PETS. Don't question it, they are adorable and you know you want one.• Trading and gifting are exciting, as well as especially rewarding, even more so if you try trading with the Japanese Community as well.• If you're reading this, chances are that you can read and write in English, and our English community is very small.• A small English community does mean that we all know or know of each other, so we get along pretty well, and without any major issues.• I haven't experienced much drama, honestly.• There is a small community for role-playing. (I am included in that small number, and would love for you to join if you enjoy role-plays.)I hope to see you in game. ^•^
